Margaret Cho’s Memoir I’m The One That I Want (with Joy Osmanski)
Join Chelsea and guest Joy Osmanski as they dive into the poignant and candid memoir of comedy icon Margaret Cho. Learn how Margaret uses comedy to survive her childhood, and later Hollywood, when she becomes the first Korean-American to be the lead of a 1994 sitcom that was based on her own life. (Hollywood quickly ruined that of course.) Margaret discusses everything from dating Quentin Tarantino to internalized sexism and racism to the good Karen in her life, and “Fat as a feminist issue.”
If you or anyone you know is struggling, there's help available at Crisis Text Line by texting the word HOME to 741-741, or the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK.

Delta
Wow what a woman ! Thank god she was able to see the happy ending and how she is living her best life now! But we sure do miss her on our screens 💖
Delta Burke. I’m moved
This is the first time I’ve ever heard this podcast, but have been a life long delta Burke fan. Suzanne sugarbaker was an icon in my life. When I saw she had done an interview, for the first time in forever, I ran to find this episode. I have had her memoir since 2011 and it always spoke to me. I love celebrity memoirs like crazy, reading a bunch and cannot wait to hear more of your podcast. Thank you for bringing the queen delta back 👑
I didn’t know I needed this podcast
I haven’t read many celebrity autobio’s but I love this podcast so much. The host’s enthusiasm and heart keep me listening and it’s becoming the podcast I get the most excited about when new eps drop
